JCC Maccabi Games 2026
Experience a life-transforming week of competition and camaraderie at the largest Jewish youth event in the country.
Be a part of the Levis Krug JCC Maccabi Games experience. Join the Boca Delegation as we head to Toronto with over 55 delegations from all over the world traveling to compete.
We recognize we are living through an extremely difficult time for the Jewish people and our hearts are with our brothers and sisters in Israel. One of the core Midot (Values) of JCC Maccabi is Amit Yehudit (Jewish Peoplehood). Now, more than ever, upholding this value is vital. In challenging times it is of utmost importance that we come together not only in solidarity, but in celebration of Jewish life, Jewish pride, and community. This summer JCC Maccabi will proudly convene thousands of Jewish teen athletes, coaches, volunteers, host families, and spectators from across the globe in a unique and magical display of Jewish Peoplehood. We will provide a safe space to be who they are as Jews, athletes, and friends, when it is needed most and we can’t wait for you to join us.

Security and Safety
Security and safety are a top priority and of utmost importance for JCC Maccabi. JCC Association and the JCC Maccabi Host Community works closely with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to put in place a robust and responsive security plan for the Games. All departments of safety professionals take this partnership very seriously and are dedicated to safeguarding the wellbeing of all JCC Maccabi participants and venues. In addition, background checks are utilized for all adults involved and all participants including athletes, coaches, spectators, host families, volunteers, and staff are required to complete an online registration process and to wear a credential at JCC Maccabi at all times. More detailed security protocols and procedures will be shared with delegations and participants closer to, and, at the time of the Games.
